Anyone know of some good software for prioritizing traffic over a router? For example, I would rather WoW traffic get attention first from my router rather than one of my roommates running bittorrent kicking me down to 500ms+ latency.

Like Cerwillis said, what type of router? Some routers you can flash with a freeware version of their IOS that may allow this functionality. I have a DLINK with a built in program called Gamingfuel that will prioritize packets for me.

An easier solution would be to ask your roommate to throttle the upload/download speeds, many clients have that ability. Heck there is probably a client that can modify the speeds based on time of day so it won't impact raid times or peak gaming times.

The other option is MAD (Mutually Assured Downloading) get your own bittorrent client and crank that sucker up when he tries to get online.
